As a radical feminist, of course I believe that prostitution is inherently harmful—not just directly to the women involved, but to women as a class more generally. But humour me for a bit, I want to explore another side of the “it’s just a job, like any other job” claim from a slightly different angle.
Right Wing men will stab you in the guts. But at least, you can see them coming. Lefty dudes will stab you in the back. Eventually. * * * * * * * * * 2nd February 2020 update. It seems other feminists have observed similar:
Lefty dudes, MOC dudes, disabled dudes (apparently) all need their ‘whores’. Never mind that it is the exploitation and violation of women’s HUMAN rights, not to have to have dick stuck into them in order to survive. Modern ‘discourse’ indicates that this is all their own free and estatic choice, free of constraints such as … Continue reading
The recent demonstration against femicide by Femen at the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris (2019), which for the mainstream caused ‘shock’, but within certain sectors of the feminist community elicited cries of “powerful” etc.
I have battle fatigue. After decades of fighting for women’s liberation, we show every sign of going backwards (in feminist analysis/practice at least). Things that I thought were sorted (as far as feminist theory goes) are re-written into bullshit. Radical feminism—’Radical’ meaning going to the root of the problem. The problem, effectively gets defined as … Continue reading
Latin and South America, not a great place for women. But what a great, and proving successful, initiative they have instigated in Argentina. Women’s Police Stations. These are staffed 100% by women, the female officers go through the regular and full police training. They only deal with sexual violence against women (DV and rape). They … Continue reading
This week saw the sad news of the suicide of Olga Edwards, 36, a solicitor from Sydney. This is a domestic violence related suicide, a toll that is not tracked in Australia (nor many countries). Research done in the UK a number of years ago indicated three women per week were committing suicide to escape … Continue reading
Time and time again, males accused of killing females, use the ‘defence’ that they “just lost it”. This defence also exists on a background of popular patriarchy mythology that men don’t have emotions, and cannot cry, and are therefore, just as much victims of patriarchy. Let us examine.
Not often do I ‘go off’ at (het) women, but the one time that I do, is their insistence that everything be either male/M2T ‘inclusive’. They need to wake up and smell the patriarchy on this one. This post is really a follow-on after reading Meghan Murphy’s post on “27 years after the Montreal Massacre, … Continue reading
International Women’s Day each year is a bit like Groundhog Day for me. I poke my nose out of my burrow, then go back in, after seeing that 51% of the population are expected to be happy with some tokenism, and just to stfu until next year when the mainstream will pretend to care again. … Continue reading
